Geraldo Bragah artworks

Ola!



Como voce vai? This is a Portuguese greeting used often in Brazil, The nation I am from. You may be asking yourself, “What is Geraldo Bragah doing in South Africa?”I will gladly answer. I moved to this stunning nation about five years ago. During my stay here I have volunteered all my time for social work and helping the communities of South Africa/Muizenberg as well as other communities within Africa in any way I can.

I am not trained in painting and I have never been to an art school, I don’t even consider myself to be a painter. I first picked up my painbrush two years ago when the creation of this countryside and the beauty of South Africa people inspired me. I call this collection of work “Recollection and reflection”. It has been a labour of love and revelation.
